The UK is likely to back down from forcing Apple to weaken encryption due to US pressure.

The UK government ordered Apple to create a “back door” into its most secure cloud storage, citing national security and crime prevention.
The US, especially Vice President JD Vance and President Trump, strongly opposes this, seeing it as a threat to free speech and privacy, and a risk to tech partnerships.
Apple withdrew its secure service from the UK and is legally challenging the order, with WhatsApp joining the fight.
The UK’s stance is jeopardizing tech and data agreements with the US and complicating future AI regulation.
UK officials admit the Home Office mishandled the issue and will likely have to retreat to avoid damaging relations with Washington.
